Relevant legal bases

​

Below you will find an overview of the legal basis of the GDPR on the basis of which we process personal data.

Please note that in addition to the provisions of the GDPR, national data protection regulations may apply in your or our country of residence or domicile.

Should more specific legal bases be relevant in individual cases, we will inform you of these in the data protection declaration.

 

  • Consent (Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a. DSGVO) - The data subject has given consent to the processing of personal data relating to him or her for a specific purpose or purposes.

  • personal data

​

In addition to the data protection regulations of the General Data Protection Regulation, national regulations on data protection apply in Germany.

​

These include, in particular, the Act on Protection against Misuse of Personal Data in Data Processing (Federal Data Protection Act - BDSG).

​

In particular, the BDSG contains special regulations on the right to information, the right to erasure, the right to object, the processing of special categories of personal data, the processing for other purposes and the transmission and automated decision-making in individual cases, including profiling.

​

Furthermore, it regulates data processing for purposes of the employment relationship (Section 26 BDSG), in particular with regard to the establishment, implementation or termination of employment relationships as well as the consent of employees.

​

Furthermore, data protection laws of the individual federal states may apply.

  • Performance of a contract and pre-contractual enquiries (Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. b. DSGVO) - Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or for the performance of pre-contractual measures carried out at the data subject's request.

  • Legal obligation (Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. c. DSGVO) - Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject.

​

Legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f. DSGVO) - Processing is necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the controller or a third party, unless such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require the protection of

Security measures

​

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures in accordance with the legal requirements, taking into account the state of the art, the implementation costs and the nature, scope, circumstances and purposes of the processing as well as the different probabilities of occurrence and the extent of the threat to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, in order to ensure a level of protection appropriate to the risk.

The measures include, in particular, ensuring the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data by controlling physical and electronic access to the data as well as access to, input of, disclosure of, assurance of availability of and segregation of the data.

​

We also have procedures in place to ensure the exercise of data subjects' rights, the deletion of data and responses to data compromise. Furthermore, we already take the protection of personal data into account in the development or selection of hardware, software as well as procedures in accordance with the principle of data protection, through technology design and through data protection-friendly default settings.

Shortening of the IP address: If IP addresses are processed by us or by the service providers and technologies used and the processing of a complete IP address is not necessary, the IP address is shortened (also referred to as "IP masking").

​

In this process, the last two digits or the last part of the IP address after a full stop are removed or replaced by wildcards.

​

The shortening of the IP address is intended to prevent or make it considerably more difficult to identify a person by their IP address.

​

SSL encryption (https): In order to protect your data transmitted via our online offer, we use SSL encryption.

You can recognise such encrypted connections by the prefix https:// in the address line of your browser.

Transmission of personal data

​

In the course of our processing of personal data, the data may be transferred to or disclosed to other bodies, companies, legally independent organisational units or persons.

​

The recipients of this data may include, for example, service providers commissioned with IT tasks or providers of services and content that are integrated into a website.

​

In such cases, we comply with the legal requirements and, in particular, conclude appropriate contracts or agreements that serve to protect your data with the recipients of your data.

​

Data transfer within the organisation: We may transfer personal data to other bodies within our organisation or grant them access to this data. Where this transfer is for administrative purposes, the transfer of data is based on our legitimate business and operational interests or is made where it is necessary for the performance of our contract-related obligations or where we have obtained the consent of the data subjects or legal permission

Data processing in third countries

​

If we process data in a third country (i.e., outside the European Union (EU), the European Economic Area (EEA)) or the processing takes place in the context of using third-party services or disclosing or transferring data to other persons, entities or companies, this will only be done in accordance with legal requirements.

​

Subject to express consent or contractually or legally required transfer, we only process or have data processed in third countries with a recognised level of data protection, contractual obligation through so-called standard protection clauses of the EU Commission, in the presence of certifications or binding internal data protection regulations (Art. 44 to 49 DSGVO, information page of the EU Commission: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection_de).

Deletion of data

​

The data processed by us will be deleted in accordance with the legal requirements as soon as their consents permitted for processing are revoked or other permissions cease to apply (e.g. if the purpose of processing this data has ceased to apply or it is not necessary for the purpose).

​

If the data are not deleted because they are required for other and legally permissible purposes, their processing is limited to these purposes.

​

I.e. the data is blocked and not processed for other purposes.

​

This applies, for example, to data that must be retained for reasons of commercial or tax law or whose storage is necessary for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person.

​

Our data protection notices may also contain further details on the retention and deletion of data which have priority for the respective processing operations.

Use of cookies

​

Cookies are small text files or other storage devices that store information on end devices and read information from the end devices.

For example, to save the login status in a user account, the contents of a shopping basket in an e-shop, the contents called up or the functions used in an online offer. Cookies can further be used for various purposes, e.g. for purposes of functionality, security and comfort of online offers as well as the creation of analyses of visitor flows.

Notes on consent

​

We use cookies in accordance with legal requirements.

​

We therefore obtain prior consent from users, except where this is not required by law.

​

In particular, consent is not required if the storage and reading of information, including cookies, is absolutely necessary in order to provide users with a telemedia service (i.e. our online offering) that they have expressly requested.

​

The revocable consent is clearly communicated to the users and contains the information on the respective cookie use.

Information on the legal basis for data protection

​

The legal basis under data protection law on which we process users' personal data with the help of cookies depends on whether we ask users for consent.

​

If users consent, the legal basis for processing their data is their declared consent.

​

Otherwise, the data processed using cookies is processed on the basis of our legitimate interests (e.g. in the business operation of our online offer and improvement of its usability) or, if this is done in the context of the performance of our contractual obligations, if the use of cookies is necessary to fulfil our contractual obligations.

​

We explain the purposes for which cookies are processed by us in the course of this privacy policy or as part of our consent and processing procedures.

Storage period:

In terms of storage duration, the following types of cookies are distinguished:-

​

  • Temporary cookies (also: session cookies): Temporary cookies are deleted at the latest after a user has left an online offer and closed his end device (e.g. browser or mobile application).

​

  • Permanent cookies: Permanent cookies remain stored even after the end device is closed. For example, the login status can be saved or preferred content can be displayed directly when the user visits a website again. Likewise, user data collected with the help of cookies can be used to measure reach. Unless we provide users with explicit information about the type and storage duration of cookies (e.g. when obtaining consent), users should assume that cookies are permanent and that they can be stored for up to two years.

General information on revocation and objection (opt-out):

​

Users can revoke the consent they have given at any time and also file an objection to the processing in accordance with the legal requirements in Art. 21 DSGVO (further information on the objection is provided within the scope of this privacy policy).

​

Users can also declare their objection using the settings of their browser.

Further information on processing processes, procedures and services:

​

  • Processing of cookie data based on consent: We use a cookie consent management procedure under which users' consents to the use of cookies, or to the processing and providers mentioned in the cookie consent management procedure, can be obtained and managed and revoked by users. The declaration of consent is stored in order not to have to repeat the request and to be able to prove the consent in accordance with the legal obligation. The storage can take place on the server side and/or in a cookie (so-called opt-in cookie or with the help of comparable technologies) in order to be able to assign the consent to a user or their device. Subject to individual information on the providers of cookie management services, the following information applies: The duration of the storage of consent can be up to two years. In this case, a pseudonymous user identifier is created and stored with the time of consent, information on the scope of consent (e.g. which categories of cookies and/or service providers) as well as the browser, system and end device used.

Fulfilment of tasks according to statutes or rules of procedure

​

We process the data of our interested parties, business partners or other persons (collectively "data subjects") if we have a contractual or other business relationship with them and perform our tasks and are recipients of services and benefits.

In addition, we process the data of data subjects on the basis of our legitimate interests, e.g. when it concerns administrative tasks or public relations work.

The data processed in this context, the type, scope and purpose of the data and the necessity of its processing are determined by the underlying contractual relationship, which also determines the necessity of any data disclosures (in addition, we refer to required data).

We delete data that is no longer required to fulfil our business purposes.

This is determined according to the respective tasks and contractual relationships.

We retain the data for as long as they may be relevant for the processing of the business as well as with regard to any warranty or liability obligations on the basis of our legitimate interest in their regulation.

The necessity of retaining the data is reviewed regularly; in all other respects, the statutory retention obligations apply.

  • Types of data processed: inventory data (e.g. names, addresses); payment data (e.g. bank details, invoices, payment history); contact data (e.g. e-mail, telephone numbers); contract data (e.g. subject matter of contract, term, customer category).

  • Data subjects: Users (e.g. website visitors, users of online services); business and contractual partners.

  • Purposes of processing: provision of contractual services and customer service; contact requests and communication; administration and response to requests.

  • Legal basis: Contractual performance and pre-contractual enquiries (Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. b. DSGVO); Legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f. DSGVO).

Business services

​

We process data of our contractual and business partners, e.g. customers and interested parties (collectively referred to as "contractual partners") in the context of contractual and comparable legal relationships as well as related measures and in the context of communication with contractual partners (or pre-contractual), e.g. to answer enquiries.

​

We process this data in order to fulfil our contractual obligations.

​

These include, in particular, the obligations to provide the agreed services, any update obligations and remedies in the event of warranty and other service disruptions.

​

Furthermore, we process the data to safeguard our rights and for the purpose of the administrative tasks associated with these obligations as well as the company organisation.

​

Furthermore, we process the data on the basis of our legitimate interests in proper and business management as well as security measures to protect our contractual partners and our business operations from misuse, endangerment of their data, secrets, information and rights (e.g. for the involvement of telecommunications, transport and other auxiliary services as well as subcontractors, banks, tax and legal advisors, payment service providers or tax authorities).

​

Within the framework of applicable law, we only disclose the data of contractual partners to third parties to the extent that this is necessary for the aforementioned purposes or to fulfil legal obligations. Contractual partners will be informed about other forms of processing, e.g. for marketing purposes, within the framework of this data protection declaration.

​

We inform the contractual partners which data is required for the aforementioned purposes before or in the course of data collection, e.g. in online forms, by means of special labelling (e.g. colours) or symbols (e.g. asterisks or similar), or in person.

​

We delete the data after the expiry of legal warranty and comparable obligations, i.e. generally after 4 years, unless the data is stored in a customer account, e.g. as long as it must be kept for legal archiving reasons (e.g. for tax purposes generally 10 years). We delete data disclosed to us by the contractual partner within the scope of an order in accordance with the specifications of the order, generally after the end of the order.

​

Insofar as we use third-party providers or platforms to provide our services, the terms and conditions and data protection notices of the respective third-party providers or platforms shall apply in the relationship between the users and the providers.

Customer account

 

Contractual partners can create an account within our online offer (e.g. customer or user account, "customer account" for short).

​

If registration of a customer account is required, contractual partners will be informed of this and of the details required for registration.

​

The customer accounts are not public and cannot be indexed by search engines.

​

Within the scope of registration and subsequent logins and uses of the customer account, we store the IP addresses of the customers together with the access times in order to be able to prove the registration and to prevent any misuse of the customer account.

​

If customers have terminated their customer account, the data relating to the customer account will be deleted, unless their retention is required for legal reasons.

​

It is the responsibility of customers to back up their data upon termination of their customer account

We process the data of our customers and clients (hereinafter uniformly referred to as "customers") in order to enable them to select, acquire or commission the selected services or works and associated activities as well as their payment and provision or execution or performance.

​

The required information is identified as such in the context of the order, purchase order or comparable contract conclusion and includes the information required for the provision of services and billing as well as contact information in order to be able to hold any consultations.

Users can create a user account.

​

As part of the registration process, users are provided with the required mandatory data and this data is processed for the purpose of providing the user account on the basis of contractual obligation fulfilment.

​

The processed data includes in particular the login information (user name, password and an e-mail address).

Within the scope of the use of our registration and login functions as well as the use of the user account, we store the IP address and the time of the respective user action. The storage is based on our legitimate interests as well as those of the users in protection against misuse and other unauthorised use.

​

As a matter of principle, this data is not passed on to third parties unless it is necessary for the prosecution of our claims or there is a legal obligation to do so.

Further information on processing, procedures and services:-

 

  • Registration with clear names: Due to the nature of our community, we ask users to use our services only by using clear names. I.e. the use of pseudonyms is not permitted.

  • Deletion of data after cancellation: If users have terminated their user account, their data with regard to the user account will be deleted, subject to any legal permission, obligation or consent of the users.

  • No obligation to retain data: It is the responsibility of users to back up their data upon termination prior to the end of the contract. We are entitled to irretrievably delete all user data stored during the term of the contract.

Contact and enquiry management

​

When contacting us (e.g. by contact form, e-mail, telephone or via social media) as well as in the context of existing user and business relationships, the information of the inquiring persons is processed to the extent necessary to respond to the contact enquiries and any requested measures.

​

The response to the contact enquiries as well as the management of contact and enquiry data in the context of contractual or pre-contractual relationships is carried out in order to fulfil our contractual obligations or to respond to (pre-)contractual enquiries and, moreover, on the basis of the legitimate interests in responding to the enquiries and maintaining user or business relationships.

For this purpose, we process personal data in the context of pre-contractual and contractual business relationships, insofar as this is necessary for their fulfilment and otherwise on the basis of our legitimate interests as well as the interests of the communication partners in responding to the concerns and our statutory retention obligations.

Newsletter and electronic notifications

​

We only send newsletters, e-mails and other electronic notifications (hereinafter "newsletters") with the consent of the recipients or with legal permission.

​

If the contents of a newsletter are specifically described in the context of a registration, they are decisive for the consent of the users.

​

In addition, our newsletters contain information about our services and us.

​

In order to subscribe to our newsletters, it is generally sufficient to provide your e-mail address.

​

However, we may ask you to provide a name, for the purpose of personal address in the newsletter, or further details, if these are necessary for the purposes of the newsletter.

Double opt-in procedure: The registration for our newsletter is always carried out in a so-called double opt-in procedure.

​

This means that after registration you will receive an e-mail in which you are asked to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary so that no one can register with other people's e-mail addresses.

​

The registrations for the newsletter are logged in order to be able to prove the registration process in accordance with the legal requirements.

​

This includes the storage of the registration and confirmation time as well as the IP address. Changes to your data stored with the dispatch service provider are also logged.

Deletion and restriction of processing:

​

We may store unsubscribed email addresses for up to three years on the basis of our legitimate interests before deleting them in order to be able to prove consent formerly given.

​

The processing of this data will be limited to the purpose of a possible defence against claims. An individual request for deletion is possible at any time, provided that the former existence of consent is confirmed at the same time.

​

In the case of obligations to permanently observe objections, we reserve the right to store the e-mail address in a block list (so-called "block list") for this purpose alone.

​

The logging of the registration process takes place on the basis of our legitimate interests for the purpose of proving its proper course.

​

If we commission a service provider to send e-mails, this is done on the basis of our legitimate interests in an efficient and secure sending system.

Notes on legal basis:

​

Newsletters are sent on the basis of the recipients' consent or, if consent is not required, on the basis of our legitimate interests in direct marketing, if and insofar as this is permitted by law, e.g. in the case of advertising to existing customers. Insofar as we commission a service provider to send e-mails, this is done on the basis of our legitimate interests in efficient and secure dispatch.

​

The registration process is recorded on the basis of our legitimate interests to prove that it has been carried out in accordance with the law.

​

Content:

​

Information about us, our services, promotions and offers.

 

  • Types of data processed: inventory data (e.g. names, addresses); contact data (e.g. email, phone numbers); meta/communication data (e.g. device information, IP addresses); usage data (e.g. websites visited, interest in content, access times).

  • Data subjects: Communication partners.

  • Purposes of processing: direct marketing (e.g. by email or post).

  • Legal basis: Consent (Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a. DSGVO); Legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f. DSGVO).

  • Opt-out: You can cancel the receipt of our newsletter at any time, i.e. revoke your consent or object to further receipt. You will find a link to cancel the newsletter either at the end of each newsletter or you can use one of the contact options given above, preferably e-mail, for this purpose.

Plugins and embedded functions and content

 

We integrate functional and content elements into our online offer that are obtained from the servers of their respective providers (hereinafter referred to as "third-party providers").

​

These can be, for example, graphics, videos or city maps (hereinafter uniformly referred to as "content").

The integration always requires that the third-party providers of this content process the IP address of the user, as without the IP address they would not be able to send the content to their browser.

​

The IP address is thus required for the presentation of these contents or functions.

​

We endeavour to only use content whose respective providers only use the IP address to deliver the content.

Third-party providers may also use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics, also known as "web beacons") for statistical or marketing purposes.

​

The "pixel tags" can be used to analyse information such as visitor traffic on the pages of this website.

The pseudonymous information may also be stored in cookies on the user's device and may contain, among other things, technical information about the browser and operating system, referring websites, time of visit and other information about the use of our online offering, as well as being linked to such information from other sources.

Notes on legal basis: If we ask users for their consent to the use of third-party providers, the legal basis for the processing of data is consent. Otherwise, users' data is processed on the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in efficient, economic and recipient-friendly services). In this context, we would also like to refer you to the information on the use of cookies in this privacy policy.

 

  • Types of data processed: Usage data (e.g. websites visited, interest in content, access times); meta/communication data (e.g. device information, IP addresses); inventory data (e.g. names, addresses); contact data (e.g. e-mail, telephone numbers); content data (e.g. entries in online forms).

  • Data subjects: Users (e.g. website visitors, users of online services).

  • Purposes of processing: provision of our online offer and user-friendliness; provision of contractual services and customer service.

  • Legal basis: Consent (Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a. DSGVO); Contractual performance and pre-contractual enquiries (Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. b. DSGVO); Legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f. DSGVO).

  • Data subjects: Users (e.g. website visitors, users of online services).

  • Purposes of processing: provision of our online offer and user-friendliness; provision of contractual services and customer service.

  • Legal basis: Legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f. DSGVO).

Further information on processing, procedures and services:-

 

  • E-mail dispatch and hosting: The web hosting services we use also include the dispatch, receipt and storage of e-mails. For these purposes, the addresses of the recipients and senders as well as further information regarding the sending of the e-mails (e.g. the providers involved) and the contents of the respective e-mails are processed. The aforementioned data may also be processed for the purpose of recognising SPAM. Please note that e-mails on the Internet are generally not sent in encrypted form. As a rule, e-mails are encrypted in transit, but (unless a so-called end-to-end encryption procedure is used) not on the servers from which they are sent and received. We can therefore not assume any responsibility for the transmission path of the e-mails between the sender and the reception on our server.

  • Collection of access data and log files: We ourselves (or our web hosting provider) collect data on every access to the server (so-called server log files). The server log files may include the address and name of the web pages and files accessed, the date and time of access, the volume of data transferred, notification of successful access, browser type and version, the user's operating system, referrer URL (the previously visited page) and, as a rule, IP addresses and the requesting provider. The server log files may be used on the one hand for security purposes, e.g. to avoid overloading the servers (especially in the event of abusive attacks, so-called DDoS attacks) and on the other hand to ensure the utilisation of the servers and their stability;

  • Deletion of data: Log file information is stored for a maximum of 30 days and then deleted or anonymised. Data whose further retention is required for evidentiary purposes is exempt from deletion until the respective incident has been finally clarified.

  • Content delivery network: We use a "content delivery network" (CDN). A CDN is a service with the help of which the content of an online offer, in particular large media files such as graphics or programme scripts, can be delivered more quickly and securely with the help of regionally distributed servers connected via the Internet.
